HAIR-NET CONTAINER.

Application filed October 12, 1922.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, HENRY MEUER, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of the city of New York, borough of Manhattan, in the county and State of New York, have invented new and useful Improvements in Hair-Net Containers, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description.

This invention relates to improvements in hair net containers.

In the packing of hair nets for sale it is found that containers which require the nets to be folded are, to a certain extent, unsatisfactory since it is necessary to fold the net thereby crushing and wrinkling the net. Further, it is often difiicult to unfold the net without damaging it to some extent.

The general object of this invention is the provision of a hair net container, simple on construction, to allow the hair net to be packed in such a manner that it retains the original shape given to it by the maker.

A further object of this invention is to provide a hair net container which is opened with great ease in order to remove a net and in which the net may be easilyreplaced after it has been removed by the wearer.

Another object of this invention is the provision of a hair net container in the form of a book, in which the hair nets are posi tioned between the sheets, and having means for allowing a portion of the hair nets to slightly contact with one another to retain them between the sheets, also allowing means to enable the user to determine if there are any remaining nets i the book and their exact position.

These objects are accomplished by pro viding a container consisting of a cover, a plurality of sheets secured therein having openings which register with one another extending therethrough.

These and other objects of the invention will be more clearly understood from the following detailed description and accompanying drawings.

Figure 1 is a plan view of the container showing it opened;

Figure 2 is an end elevation of the con tainer;

Figure 3 is section along the line 3 -3, Figure 1;

Figure 4 is a section of one sheet along the line 3+3, Figure 1.

Serial No. 594,118.

Referring to the above-mentioned figures, a cover 10 is provided in which a plurality of sheets 11 are secured in w ordinary manner. Each sheet 11 is provided with an opening 12 extending there-through. The openings in the sheets register with one another and allow the hair nets 13 positioned between the sheets 11 to contact with one another. I constructing hair nets the fibers from which the net is formed are knotted together at the point where they cross. Consequently, when hair nets are positioned between the sheets 11 and the book closed the hair nets are forced into engagement with one another, the knots of one hair net engaging the other hair net. Further, the knots of the hair nets engage those portions of the sheets which define the openings formed therein. The engagement of one hair net with the other and with the sheets prevents them from sliding out of the container when the latter is handled. This is a very desirable feature in that it prevents the hair nets from sliding out of the container when being displayed by the seller or on being handled by a buyer. Such a hair net container is very convenient for the user since in order to remove or replace a hair net it is only necessary to open the book and bodily left the hair net oil the sheet.

I would state in conclusion that while the illustrated example constitutes a practical embodiment of my invention I do not limit myself strictly to the exact details herein illustrated since manifestly the same can be considerably varied without departing from the spirit of the invention as defined in the appended claims.

Claims:

1. A hair net container made in the form of a book including a cover and a plurality of thin. single sheets, said sheets having openings extending therethrough which register with one another, said openings permitting hair nets positioned between the sheets to contact with one another.

2. A hair container made in the form of a book including a plurality of thin leaves made from one thickness of fabric, each of said leaves having an opening extending therethrough for permitting'hair nets positioned on opposite sides of the leaves to engage one another.
